Hello All! I'm an upcoming junior in undgrad. I am a Psychology major with a Pre-Med track. I have had some difficulty with my science courses (I have only taken General Chem and Intro Bio). My reasons for not doing well is mainly due to personal issues that are handled currently. As I embark in starting a new year, I am now considering my options for obtaining my goal of becoming a physician. Currently, I plan to enroll in a Post-Bacc/Masters in order to boost up my science GPA. My dilemma is do I still continue with my Pre-Med requirements or do I stop taking these courses in my undergrad?? I really want to become a physician because I am so intrigue in how our body functions, and I would like to help those who are diagnosed with similar disorders like myself (autoimmune). I am an individual who doesn't give up and pursues what I have a passion of. I understand that my journey will be a long one, but I know it will be a fulfilling journey. Thank you for all responses!

If you don't feel like you can get the best grade possible, then stop taking them. Adcoms have no problem with pre-reqs being taken during your post-bacc. Taking them for the first time later on is better than REtaking them later on.

What is your GPA? It depends on just how badly you did to determine whether a post-bacc is going to be needed. If your GPA is decent you may be able to apply smartly and broadly and get in without a post-bacc.
